title: A multiunit CO2 anesthetizing system for use in transferring mosquitoes during field cage insectcide efficacy tests.
abstract: A multiunit CO2 delivery and anesthetizing system that supports expanded cage testing of mosquitoes is described. This system has proven more efficient than pipetting for conducting multiple tests and has facilitated the tripling of cage testing capabilities.
